Metal Braces in Hanwell

Metal Braces are still commonly used for all types of orthodontic cases and are often the most economical braces treatment.

Advancements in technology make metal braces more comfortable and much smaller than they used to be. The impact on your appearance is therefore not as drastic. We even offer funky coloured brackets and bands to make your braces into a fashion statement.

I had the opportunity to meet some of the professionals at Sparkle in two different situations. Both on the phone and in person, at the reception desk and in the dental office, all of them were very friendly and professional. The price they charge is commensurate with the excellent service they provide. Furthermore, the manager, Prachi, took an interest in the dental care of my two children and offered me a free checkup for both of them. Although I didn't take it at the time, it was very kind of her to do so. I recommend this place and will definitely be back.

I’ve just got home after having a very large filling replaced, I am a very nervous patient and I can truly say that Dr Priyanthan is the most gentle, highly skilled dentist I have ever been to. I didn’t even feel the anesthetic going in! Thank you so much Dr Priyanthan.

Lovely team, came across them in 2022 when I urgently needed to see someone as my retainer wire came undone. They were much more approachable than other places about fitting me in as I had not yet been to a dentist since moving to the UK. The reception team, dentists, and hygienists have all be really accommodating since. The hygienist Rosie (works on Thursdays), is really lovely and very experienced. So glad to find a good dental clinic in the area.

A good experience with professional staff and a kind and expert dentist. A little pricey but worth the peace of mind. I've been with this practice for years; not going anywhere else.

Sparkle is my usual dentist, but I turned up without an appointment as I was worried about something. The receptionist and dentist were very helpful and I managed to see the dentist and put my mind at rest. I am very grateful. On other visits I have always found everyone very professional, no complaints.

Absolutely over the moon with the service and treatment I received today at Sparkle. I had a check up with another dental practise earlier this morning and left in a bad mood as they wanted so much money from me and I felt uneasy from the get go. I was driving home and drove past Sparkle Dental Boutique and something told me to park up and go inside so I did. I was greeted with Prachi the receptionist who I straight away could feel had such great energy and she was so patient with me as I tried to explain my problems I had this morning and with my teeth. She managed to squeeze me in straight away with a hygienist and gave me some amazing advise as well as making me feel at ease. My hygienist today was Bozena who yet again had such great energy and was so lovely to me as she had patience to listen to my story but also wasn’t afraid to tell me where I was going wrong. Bozena you can tell has a lot of experience and she gave me some amazing advise along with a thorough clean which left me smiling and feeling so much better about myself. I’m booked in to see the dentist next week and to see Bozena again in 8 weeks and I couldn’t recommend Bozena enough, best hygienist I’ve had in years! Summary: you really feel welcomed here and the staff are absolutely amazing and so lovely and they do not rush you or try to take your money! This will be my dental practise for the foreseeable future! Thanks again Prachi & Boxena! Charlie

Dr Priya. Thank you so much. I'm really happy with the Root Canal treatment. Considering the NHS did the crown over 20 yrs ago, it must have been complicated. Thanks again :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Metal braces are still the brace of choice for many patients and are used extensively in children’s NHS orthodontic treatment. They are used in orthodontics to align and straighten teeth, while also improving your dental health.

Metal braces use metal brackets and wires to move teeth, giving you a perfect smile.

Metal braces are used to correct all types of orthodontic problems, no matter how severe. You may need braces if you have:

  • Crooked teeth
  • Crowded teeth
  • Widely spaced or gappy teeth
  • Cross bites
  • Deep bites
  • Open bites
  • Overbite
  • Under bite
  • Protruding or ‘goofy’ teeth
Our dentist offers the latest technologically advanced treatment in orthodontics to provide you with a perfect smile, including:

  • Invisalign®, invisible braces
  • Incognito™ braces, behind the teeth
  • Damon® braces, self-ligating braces
  • Ceramic braces, clear braces
  • Braces for Kids
To get the smile you want, our Orthodontist will understand your dental concerns and determine if metal braces are suitable for you.

At your first appointment, we will take digital x-rays, photographs of your smile and models of your teeth in preparation for your metal braces to be fitted.

At your second appointment, we will fit your metal braces. Conventional metal braces use metal brackets and ties to hold the arch wire in place. A bracket will be bonded to the front surface of the teeth that need to be braced. An arch wire is threaded between the brackets which apply forces to the teeth to help the teeth to move.

Our team will see you every 4-6 weeks to bend, shape and tighten your arch wires to achieve the desired results.

The treatment length of metal braces can vary and will depend on your case; usually it lies between 9-24 months.

Once your treatment is complete we will provide you with a retainer to ensure your teeth stay in position and you can enjoy your new smile for a lifetime.

Metal braces are ideal for complex dental irregularities.

  • Age: Suitable for all age groups – children, teens and adults
  • Comfort: Most patients experience minimal discomfort and speech interference, after just a short adjustment period, you will be able to eat and speak normally
  • Economical: More economical than other orthodontic braces
  • Reliable: Correct all types of incorrect tooth positions
When you first have your metal braces fitted and at your follow up adjustment appointments, you may experience a feeling of tension in the mouth as your teeth start to move into their new position. This is usually temporary and your mouth will adapt to your metal braces within a few days.

Your speech may initially be affected. However, your speech will improve as you become accustomed to your metal braces.

Metal braces are fixed to the front surface of your teeth and therefore cannot be removed for cleaning. It is therefore important that you brush well. We provide you with a complimentary orthodontic care kit with special interdental brushes to keep your teeth and brace clean.

Treatment using metal braces are as individual as you are. That’s why the duration of treatment will differ from one person to the next. Treatment time usually takes 9-24 months but will vary according to your individual treatment needs and how complex your case is.

Our Orthodontist will see you every 4-6 weeks for around 20 minutes to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.

Wearing a retainer after your orthodontic treatment is an important step, because it keeps your teeth stable in their new position. To help you maintain your new smile, we provide a free retainer for you at the end of your metal braces treatment.

In addition, after completing your treatment, our Orthodontist will also see you for a further two complimentary appointments, at six monthly intervals, to ensure all is well.

We understand that price is an important consideration. Like any orthodontic treatment, the cost of metal braces is dependent on your suitability for treatment, the complexity of your treatment and how long your treatment will take.

When you come to see us for your first consultation, we will determine the most appropriate braces treatment for you and provide you with a treatment plan and cost.

  • Any breakages of the brace, bracket and wires are included.
  • All scheduled appointments and aftercare are included in our prices.
  • There are no hidden extras.

All of our brace treatments come with a flexible payment plan to suit your needs.

To obtain an estimate for the total cost for your treatment, please call 020 8567 4344 for your consultation or email us.

Metal fixed braces are one of many options available to you. If you concerned about your braces showing throughout treatment, you may wish to consider one of our other braces options or cosmetic dental treatments.

Alternative treatments: Damon Braces, Ceramic Braces, Invisible Braces
